Four motos. Four wins. One red plate.

 

Jeffrey Herlings is doing what Jeffrey Herlings does best.

 

Our man has absolutely lit up the last two rounds of the MXGP World Championship, delivering back-to-back perfect weekends to fire himself to the top of the standings.

Foxhills: Maximum Attack

 

The return of the iconic Foxhills circuit to the MXGP calendar served up one of the biggest turning points of the season—and Jeffrey made sure he was at the centre of it. Thousands of fans packed the legendary British venue as The Bullet wasted no time showing his pace.

 

After taking control of both motos, Jeffrey delivered a flawless 1-1 finish, combining blistering speed with trademark consistency to claim maximum points and the overall Grand Prix victory. It was a statement ride that slashed the gap in the championship to just 11 points heading into the next round.

 

The title fight also took a dramatic twist when championship leader Lucas Coenen was forced out with a leg injury sustained during the weekend. While nobody wants to see a rival sidelined, Jeffrey did exactly what champions do—he seized the opportunity with a faultless performance.

 

Loket: Red Plate Secured

 

If Foxhills was impressive, Loket was next level.

 

The legendary Czech hardpack circuit demanded precision, patience and consistency in soaring temperatures—and Jeffrey delivered all three. After setting the pace from qualifying onwards, he won both motos to complete his first perfect weekend of the season.

 

Meanwhile, championship rival, Lucas Coenen attempted to return despite his leg injury but was forced to withdraw during Saturday's qualifying race and sat out the remainder of the Czech GP, leaving him scoreless for a second consecutive round.

 

Race one saw Jeffrey take the lead on lap two before managing the race with complete control. In race two, he backed it up once again, making it four moto wins from four starts across two weekends. No mistakes. No drama. Just pure speed.

 

The reward?

 

The championship lead and the coveted MXGP Red Plate.
